Key West
Key West Golf Club: located on Stock Island at the entrance to Key West (the westernmost of the inhabited Florida Keys), you'll find the USA's most southerly golf course. The only "Caribbean" golf course in the United States, golf legend Rees Jones designed this attractive 6,500 yard course to be a challenge to players of all abilities.
Key West's 18 holes are typically bordered by tropical foliage as well as housing on a few holes. Also much in evidence is thickly entwined tropical mangroves, while Highway 1 flanks the layout's south side, as it completes its journey into Key West. There's plenty of stylish bunkering along the fairways and especially around the greens.
Pick of the holes: the infamous par-3 8th ("Mangrove") measures 178 yards from the tips, and is played from tee to island-green over the mangrove swamp.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

The famous Florida Keys is a 220-mile stretch of over 800 tropical islands (keys), which run in a gently curving arc from just south of Miami in the northeast, to the Dry Tortugas in the southwest. Separated by the Straits of Florida, Cuba's capital city of Havana, lies just 90 nautical miles south of one of the most westerly keys, Marquesas Keys.
Over 40 bridges connect the various keys as they journey from the Atlantic Ocean into the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way are many famous keys, not least Key Largo (of film fame), Little Torch Key, Big Pine Key, and Key West (the last inhabitated key).
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
